We writers are up against the worst type of criticism already--from the internal critic who knocks us down regularly, until we learn to "thank it for sharing" and go back to the work at hand! As Pat Schneider (founder of Amherst Writers and Artists Method) wrote, even the teaching of craft "can be done without damage to a writer's original voice or artistic self-esteem."
